Bomba and Plena: Travel to Puerto Rico with Los Pleneros de la 21 by learning the rhythms and dances of bomba and plena.

Capoeira: Experience capoeira—a form of martial arts that combines music, dance, and acrobatics—accompanied by traditional Brazilian instruments, and learn the Afro-Brazilian warrior stick dance maculelê.

Block Party: Explore the music of Colombia, Cuba, and Venezuela with Folklore Urbano. Enjoy a performance while you learn salsa, joropo, and cumbia.

Rhythm Quest: Spend one-on-one time with master percussionists who will introduce you to the signature rhythms and instruments of four Latin American genres.

Instrument Making: Work with artists from Bash the Trash to build güiros (hollow instrument with rubbing stick) and bongos out of recycled materials, and join in on an interactive performance.

Digital Laboratory: Take various rhythms and use different technological elements to experience Latin American music in ways you never imagined.
